caber weapon from beastmaster

[darthinvictus]

made this today
awaiting brass rivets
this is just a test fit
watcha think?

 

[punisher]

quite possibly the best prop ive seen in a while! brings back memories!

 

[Clutch]

Ohhh, pretty!

 

[Goodwolf]

Everytime I see this thread I wonder how a caber could make a good weapon.

Then again, I'm thinking of highland games...

I thought the enemy was the "JUN" horde; but it has been about a decade since I saw it.

OT: Results are awesome. Tell me you're gonna try throwing it at something.

 

[wuher da brewer]

Pretty dang cool man!

 

[Clutch]

If thrown, will it come back to you?

 

[tk1565]

awesome work mate, brings back memories
possible run :love ?

 

[cavedwellar]

One of my favorite movies, thanks for bringing back memories.
Awesome prop.

 

[darthinvictus]

it seems dangerous enough to throw
i pray it does not return
thanks guys!
and yes it was the jun horde typo i supppose i wasnt thinking
it is really hard to hold and very easy to pinch fingers
but super easy to make
i would make a tutorial but it does require a few tools
what is seen in those pics only took about 3 hours.
mind you it needs 2 rivets and a bit of clean up

 

[darthinvictus]

rivets are in place and design is final.
throws terribly:lol
but takes abuse wonderfully
anyone know of a source for a blade that could be altered to make the sword?
i can mod a close enough scimitar and the guard pommel and handle should be a walk in the park

Please note: Film Swords recreations are NOT intended for use as a weapon.

Where's the fun in that?

 

[OB10]

Wow, I've wanted to make one of those for years! How thick is the brass that you used?

 

[MooCriket]

Very cool and very well done:cool

 

[Gigatron]

If thrown, will it come back to you?

You can almost guarantee it will, if you miss whomever you were throwing it at :lol :lol
